Food & Fiction Friday: The Hunger Games Edition
Welcome to my latest weekly (ish) segment, Food & Fiction Fridays! In the same vein as My Shelf Monday, I will have a weekly post about my two favorite things (other than my family): Food and Fiction! The two have always been linked for me, and I think that might be why I have a strong reaction to books that capitalize on food.
Long ago, in a closet not too far away, I built myself a reading nook. I cleared out whatever stuff I'd been storing in the corner of my closet, laid down blankets and stole pillows from around the house. I got permission to add a lamp (?) or some form of lighting device (I honestly can't remember what the heck it was!) It was my quiet spot to disappear for a few hours with a book. The bookworm version of a treehouse.
And on the weekends my dad would set up a snack station on the kitchen counter. There was usually sliced cheese, sausage or salami, sometimes a variety of cold cuts, along with fresh bread and some fruits. I would grab a plate, pile it up, and disappear into my closet.
Food and Fiction. The perfect combination!
So today I'm kicking things off with one of my favorite books of all time: The Hunger Games. I realize this seems odd thanks to both title and content of said books, but very early on Katniss and Gale share a pre-reaping meal of fresh bread, goat cheese, basil and blackberries. It sounds delicious, right? We're only 8 pages into the book and the food has already helped tell the tale of food scarcity, trade, and lack of hope for the people of District 12. The food and the ideas attached to them are something I often think about when The Hunger Games are mentioned.
Plus, I really love fresh bread, goat cheese, basil, and blackberries. It's really a perfect meal!
So what about you? Did the food (or lack there of) in the Hunger Games have an affect on you? And do you snack when you eat (or is that just me?) Hit me in the comments!

I almost always have a snack tray out on the weekends. Meat, cheese, crackers, chips & salsa…yum! The Hunger Games always reminds me of stories my dad would tell of growing up poor in NC. They would start out with meat at the beginning of the month, and by the end of the month it was beans and biscuits. Thankful I have not had to deal with those extremes!

Assessing adaptation options
Assess cross-cutting issues, trade-offs and synergies of adaptation options
Individual policy areas/sectors might follow different objectives leading to proposals for adaptive actions that could potentially create negative side effects for another policy area/sector if not coordinated. Likewise, adaptation responses in distinct policy areas can potentially deliver synergies when mutually designed. There is, therefore, a clear need for coordination across a wide range of political, legal and institutional settings, as well as different information-management approaches and financial arrangements.

The new-look CAF club competitions will include quarterfinals for the first time and have one less qualifying round, the African football body said yesterday.
Starting next year, the group stages of the annual Champions League and Confederation Cup competitions will expand from eight clubs to 16.
After two two-legged qualifying rounds, the 16 Champions League survivors will be split into four groups with clubs playing their three opponents at home and away.
Group winners and runners-up progress to the quarterfinals.
After two two-legged qualifying rounds in the Confederation Cup, the 16 survivors play the Champions League last-32 losers for group places.
The remainder of the competition — the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League — will be similar in format to the Champions League.
CAF have not announced increased prize money, but rises are expected after the recent announcement of a $1 billion 12-year TV and marketing deal.
The 2016 Champions League winners will receive $1.5 million and the Confederation Cup winners $660,000.
Clubs have consistently complained that success does not pay in Caf competitions with travel costs soaking up prize money.
CAF said 20 dates between March and December have been reserved for the 2017 club competitions. — AFP

Both the men and women's soccer team took the field today, and it's safe to say that neither team got the result that they were hoping for. The men's team finished off the UNLV Nike Invitational with a crushing 3-2 defeat against UC Riverside, while the women's team fell 1-0 to Wyoming.
- After a solid victory over UNLV to kick off the UNLV Nike Invitational, the men's soccer team was looking for the tournament championship against UC Riverside. It was a game that saw the Bulldogs dominate UC Riverside for the first 60 minutes, as they jumped out to a 2-0 lead. Tim Muravez scored in the both the 43rd and 53rd minute, and it seemed that the Zags were well on their way to victory. Both goals came off corner kicks that were delivered by Ben Funkhouser, but the comfortable lead was short lived.
In the 56th minute, the Zags lead was cut in half, when UC Riverside scored on a chip shot from Nathan Patterson. The game was tied only seven minutes later, when Michael Vega scored off a free-kick. It seemed that the game was destined for overtime, but the Highlanders had other ideas. In the 88th minute, Robert Cate was able to get his head to a cross, and it as enough to give the Highlanders a 3-2 lead. However, the Bulldogs had a great chance to send the game to overtime, but Zach Smith saw his shot hit the crossbar with one second left in the game.
The guys will return to the field on Friday, when they will make their home debut at the new Gonzaga Soccer Field. They will be hosting the Gonzaga Nike Soccer Classic, and will take on UMKC at 4:00 PM on Friday. The tournament will continue on Sunday afternoon, when the Bulldogs will host CSUB at 2:00 PM.
- The women's soccer team took on the University of Wyoming in the final game of a four-game homestand for the ladies. In what turned out to be a very defensive game, the Bulldogs could not overcome an early goal from the Cowgirls, as they fell 1-0.
It was Wyoming who came out aggressive, as they pressured the GU goal throughout the first half. The Lady Zags were able to hold strong against the attack for much of the first half, but finally cracked in the 30th minute. After a string of pieces from the midfield, Amanda Lathrop saw herself alone in the middle of the GU defense, and she delivered a strong shot into the corner of the goal. There was nothing that Lauren Ames could do to keep the ball out of the net, and the Cowgirls were up 1-0.
Gonzaga turned up the pressure in the second half, but despite outshooting the Cowgirls 4-0, they were unable to find the net. Jessie Sorensen came close, but her shot was blocked, while both Ashley Riley and Courney Peacock could not convert good opportunities. With the loss, the Bulldogs drop to 4-3 on the season. They will certainly be disapointed at the 2-2 record they had during their four-game homestand.
The team will return to action on Friday, when they will play in the University of Colorado tournament next week. On Friday, the ladies will go up against the University of Colorado, who participated in the NCAA tournament last season. They will finish the tournament on Sunday, when they will challenge the University of Denver.

When I began to write the caption for this cute collection of Star Wars and Star Trek cake pops featuring C-3 PO, R2-D2, Spock, and the Starfleet emblem, I became curious as to who invented the cake pop.
The inventor of the cake pop was Angie Dudley who is also answers to the name Bakerella. She invented them in 2008 and there were later featured in a book titled "Cake Pop" which unsurprisingly was featured on the New York Times bestseller list. In order to make a cake pop, cake crumbs are mixed with icing and then formed into small spheres or shapes, attached to lollipop sticks, and are then given a coating of icing or other decoration. These cake pops are interesting because they reflect both Aces love of Star Wars and Linda's love of Star Trek. Sadly, I never saw or tasted these cake pops as I was busy photographing other aspects of this wedding. But that's where an additional photographer comes into play. As you can see here, Vanessa did a great job of capturing these elements of the day in a fun and tasteful (pun intended) way.

Simply Health Manchester 10k and HM
A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the Simply Health Manchester Half Marathon, 10k and Junior runs a great success. I am opening with the helpers as they have been crucial in ensuring that this year's events go ahead successfully. It was not an easy task to persuade our members to give up their time to help. Well done to Morris Jefferson for doing a sterling job.
After the appalling events of the previous week in Manchester it was touch and go at some points as to whether the mass participation events would go ahead. As it turned out, the success of the runs, together with the Great City Games on Friday proved that the city of Manchester have such great spirit and resolve that we can rise above the threat of terror and show the world that Manchester is a great place to be.
Some marshals had to endure being searched multiple times and sniffed by large dogs as they approached their positions. Armed police were evident as the country announced that the terror threat was 'critical'. None of this mattered as we cheered and clapped the 6000 half marathon runners and 17000 10k runners as they proudly ran the streets of Manchester.
The weather was kind and thousands came out to support the athletes along the route. The half marathon took in the sights of The Mancunian Way and The Etihad Stadium before meeting the 10k course which passed by Old Trafford and The Imperial War Museum.
The results can be viewed here and I do not intend to list all the worthy runners who braved the 10k and Half Marathons. To name a few :-
High praise must be given to club stalwart Mike Dunne who was the fastest V65 of the day in a time of 44:48. Ex Sale runner Terry Lonergan was 7th with 49:33.
Sarah Douglas was thrilled to have been given an elite women's start place alongside such names as Tirunesh Dibaba and Gemma Steel. She ran brilliantly (37:35) but was not quite as fast as her pb set in Salford earlier in the year. (37:03).
Joe Vis was our first man home in a time of 31:30 closely followed by Callum Rowlinson (32:19) and Gareth Raven (32:24) 3rd Vet40. Callum's dad Gary was 1st Vet 50 (34:54) also mum Lynda 4th Vet 55 with 46:55. Well done family Rowlinson.

Other readers found it boring, and I'll admit it is a bit stiff, very cerebral at times. But nothing worth having comes easily, and if you can buy (into) the ticket, Walter Kern takes you on a fascinating ride. With the imagery of W.C.Williams, the honesty and masculinity of Kingsolver or Carver, Hunter's devil may care, and the imagination of Pynchon, you won't find a better book in these stacks.
His best work.
A++ highly recommended
one of the rare cases the film adaptation is better than the book. probably because the film took its own direction and fleshed out his mileage, family, and female relationships much better. in the book, much of the plot and stories/arcs regarding his miles, family, women, book/speaking falls flat and anticlimactic.
Extremely underwhelming.
I found this book very difficult to get through. There were numerous times I considered not even finishing it but rather decided that the book might get better by the end. It didn't.
Not the kind of book that you want to read if you are looking for a lot of action, but I love the way that the author takes things that most of us regard as mundane or an inconvenience such as air travel or staying in hotels and make them seem poetic.
One thing though - the book bears very little resemblance to the movie
What a dull book. It started well enough but crashed soon after and by the end I just wanted to shoot myself and couldn't wait for it to end. Pure torture. This is a story without a story. That 1,000,000 traveler's points is a sham. Please don't pick up this book. You'll thank me for it.

As you can probably tell, I am working on updating our blog. It is a work in progress, but I am getting there. First of all, I have changed the name. Oh Fiddlestix....one may ask...where did this come from? A phrase I believe I got from my Grandma Bradfield when I was growing up...and it has stuck. I can remember the first time Mike heard me say "oh fiddlestix"...he laughed and asked where did I get such a saying....and I just smiled...and said Grandma Bradfield.
We have been living in Missouri since March, and I figured the name needed to be changed to something different than the ordinary.....so....that is what I came up with...Oh fiddlestix.... :)
On this site you will find all sorts of information. I have added several different links for you all to check out.
One is for prayer requests. Shawndra Turner and Stephanie Vest are two women, whom I have never met, but I have the utmost respect and admiration for them both. They are both around my age and are located in the Kansas City area and these women are fighting battles with cancer. I have been following Shawndra Turner's blog for over a year, I found it through Jennifer Ireland's blog, that my friend Rachael had sent to me when I was living out in Jersey. I found Stephanie Vest's blog through Shawndra's site. If you have a moment or two, please check out their sites, read their stories, and say a prayer for each of them and their beautiful families. They are two extraordinary women that I pray for daily.
I have also added a place for my favorite scripture.I hope that you enjoy them both. The first scripture I have added is my favorite verse, something my Grandma wrote in notes and cards that she would mail to me. In fact, one of the last letters I received included a copy of the pastor's notes from his sermon on this scripture. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11. I need to be reminded of this on a daily basis. He already has things planned out for me, I just need to be patient and wait.
I have also added some of my favorite blog sites to visit as well as some shopping sites. I hope you all enjoy browsing as much as I do. Any questions about any of them, let me know....I go to each of them quite off and have ordered off of all of them.
Some other items I hope to add to the site are:
-Favorite Recipes
-Slideshow Pics
-Craft ideas
Hoping this site becomes more user friendly and interesting. :) I hope to get pictures of the inside of our house posted this weekend...as well as some other interesting items....be on the look out!
Have a wonderful Friday!

I've known David Steinberg for some 20 years now. He was introduced to me by one of the major CPA firms in New York City as knowledgeable and honest mortgage broker. I've used him many times and have found him quite effective. So, when we hit this financial morass, I thought it might be interesting to see what he had to say while we are in this epic meltdown. "There is no telling where things are going," says David. But I'd like to share some observations that I believe will withstand scrutiny regardless of where markets are by the time you read this." The following is from David's mouth: Cash is King. You'd be amazed how much easier you can sleep if you have that emergency fund to (at least) six months of living expenses. Cash is King II: That emergency fund must be liquid. Having a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) doesn't count because many banks are getting cold feet and cutting the lines back or eliminating them. So, even if you have perfect credit, there is no guarantee that your HELOC will be there when you need it. Cash is King III: Gains (or losses) are not real until you realize them, when you sell. For years Americans have been feeling rich because their houses and portfolios were appreciating. That wasn't real. The losses we have experienced in recent weeks as our portfolios have fallen are no more real (unless you sold). If your initial choices were solid, your portfolio should come back when the market comes back. Buy Low and Sell High: I said, "If your initial choices were solid." All too often people buy speculatively. How do you buy well? Watch Warren Buffett. He won't buy unless he perceives value. Learn to sit on cash waiting for opportunities. Gotta Know When to Hold'em and Know When to Fold'em: These have been tough times for investors—tough figuring out whether to hold or sell. Stick to stock in good companies that have good management (Warren Buffett) and sell the rest. 'When' is the challenge! Sell on your terms—don't get stampeded into selling at the wrong time. Volatility is a Fact of Life: Hold on! Volatility, which has been at record levels throughout 2008, is not going away any time soon. Get used to it. Strategize for it. Can't Take the Heat: Get out of the market for the next six months or so if you can't tolerate the swings. Be prepared to miss some of the glory if the market roars back. Gotta Know When to Buy: Me? I'm buying. Why? Because Warren Buffett is buying. Due to some luck 40 percent of my retirement funds were in cash as of October 10. I told my stock broker to start buying cautiously. (And, remember, it's not polite to laugh at people.) There's Gold in Them Thar Hills: Fortunes will be made by those with vision and courage to take advantage of the opportunities that will surely be present in the coming months.

England's Labour Party, led by Gordon Brown, is expected to lose seats in the E.U. Parliamentary elections on June 4th. Labour has fallen behind rival parties while financial woes and scepticism of the E.U. have left some voters yearning for the good old days.
More than the English Channel seems to separate the U.K. from the E.U. as Britons go, or do not go, to the polls to fill the U.K.'s 72 seats. For a once-hegemon, England's historical superiority in the region is discounted by the E.U.'s scheme of representative democracy. Seventy-two seats gives the U.K. only a 10-percent say in the Parliament's 785-member legislature.
Fears of losing national sovereignty to the mainland are particularly strong in the U.K., which continues to use the pound instead of the euro, the definitive symbol of the united European economy. While the U.K. is subject to regulations requiring an open E.U. labor market, traditional skepticism of the E.U. as well as the pound's consistent superiority over the euro are two reasons Queen Elizabeth continues to appear on British notes.
While the executive branch of the E.U., the E.U. Commission, has promised not to give into reactionary desires for protectionism, it is the legislative branch, the E.U. Parliament, that is up for grabs this week. Europe's 27 countries incumbent parties are predicted to lose seats and the U.K. is no exception. Labour is third in polls and the far-right British National Party is gaining ground by running a xenophobic campaign against "immigrant spongues".
The British economy's imbroglio with the financial sector has caused the pound to fall steeply against the euro in the past year. While the pound is still a more valuable currency, the British proclivity to spend big in continental Europe, whether on weekend bachelor parties or second homes abroad, is facing hard times.
The running joke in Spain that Mallorca, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean, is really British property may lose its punch if English politics continues to tighten its belt by electing nationalists and E.U. skeptics to the E.U. Parliament this June 4th. For better or worse, it would not be uncharacteristic given the suspicion the U.K. has traditionally had of the continent.

You've worked for a local architect for some time, putting in the hours, learning the ins and outs of the business. You've built up a nice portfolio and you love getting a regular paycheck each week. But you're starting to think you'd like to step out on your own.
Starting your own architecture firm is a huge step, but you're ready … or are you? Here are some tips to think about when you branch out on your own.
Get Your Website Ready, Pront
While you're trying to gain new clients, your website will be your main calling card. This is where you will send prospects to look at your previous projects, learn about your design principles, and decide whether your firm is a good fit for their project.
But as a brand new firm, you might not have any projects to show off. Well, you'd better get some, quick. One of my friends who recently started his own firm did jobs for friends and acquaintances "on the side" (including my house plans) in order to build up a portfolio under his own name. When he launched his new company he had a portfolio of projects ready to go.
The design of your website should be modern and minimal, allowing your project visuals to shine. Use hi resolution images and a simple gallery structure that makes it easy for a client to view images without having to download or open any special program.
What else does your website need? Tell prospects about your company, design principles and what sets you apart by creating an engaging About Us page. Create a services page explaining the type of work you do and what your client will get for their money. And don't forget to add your contact details! (You'd be surprised how many people forget).
Want to know more about creating the perfect website? See our article on what you need on your architecture website.
Keep Expenses Low, but Scaleable
When you start out, it can be difficult to balance the books. You'll be spending more money than you're bringing in, and it can seem like it's impossible to get ahead. But there are plenty of things you can do to keep costs low to enable you to grow faster.
First of all, think long and hard about whether you need to rent an office space in the initial stages. You can run the business out of your home for a while, until you have the cashflow required to support the rent on an office.
If you need to take on additional staff, see if you can find people willing to work on a contract/freelance basis - that way, you're not paying staff to twiddle their thumbs when you're going through a quiet patch. These people can also work from their homes, saving you on office supplies.
It can be tempting to look to simple tools to deal with the admin, accounting and project management side of the business. Word processing and spreadsheet tools come with every PC, and will do the job in a pinch. But this is one area where you should do a bit of research, because a clever project management tool will actually put your architecture firm ahead of the rest.
WorkflowMax does more than just enable you to track time against a job and send an invoice based on that data. It offers a complete tool for managing your practice - from quoting, to every aspect of managing jobs, to reporting on different aspects of your business data. You can create additional functionality through add-ons, such as document management through Box, Dropbox or Google Drive, accounting through Xero, and payroll through various suppliers.
All this for under three-figures a month. That's a pretty incredible value add. For more information, check out 5 Benefits Job Management Software Bring Your Clients.
Learn from the Best
Starting an architecture firm is a huge undertaking, and you'll need all the help you can get. Talk to other architects about what they did to start and grow their firms, and make sure you don't repeat any of their mistakes.
It can be useful to find a senior architect to act as your mentor. He/she will help to guide your decisions in this crucial early phase, and give you the benefit of their years of wisdom. Meet with your mentor weekly or monthly, buy them a coffee, and come prepared with questions and projections.
For some tips from the trenches, check out our article 5 Kick Ass Tips for Architects from the Experts.
Boost Your Profile
Now that you are up-and-running, and your business is ticking over, it's time to get serious about raising your profile as a designer. Here are some easy marketing ideas that can help you to quickly grow your client base:
- Get on social media!

Homemade Potato Chips
Meet my latest addiction; crunchy, salty, perfect homemade potato chips. These are vegan, gluten-free and oil-free! They are the perfect healthy treat for the new year and they are super easy to make! Slice up potatoes, bake them for 15 minutes, add some salt and they are ready to go!
I discovered these on accident not too long ago. Thomas and I were making Oh She Glows' taco potato crisps and accidentally sliced the potatoes too thin. We discovered that it turned out super thinly sliced potatoes baked without oil make the crunchiest of chips! Ever since, these have been my go-to snack.
I love pairing them with vegan sour cream which I am also including a recipe for! The sour cream also works for the taco potato crisps which you can find in The Oh She Glows Cookbook! You can also add some chives and extra lemon juice to make a ranch-like dip for your chips! Either way, it's a versatile staple for every vegan kitchen!
Homemade Potato Chips with Sour Cream (Vegan, Gluten-Free, Oil-Free)
For the chips:
3 russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed
1 tsp sea salt
Optional: Dried or fresh chives for garnish
For the sour cream:
1 package firm silken tofu
1/2 lemon juiced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes into 1/8 inch rounds and spread evenly on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and crispy. It's okay if they are a golden brown, that's just the way you want them!
2. Meanwhile, add the tofu, lemon juice, and sea salt to a food processor. Process until completely smooth and set aside.
3. Garnish the potato chips with chives if desired and serve with sour cream or your favorite dip! Store any leftovers in a tupperware or jar on the container for up to 2 days.
2 Comments on Homemade Potato Chips
Oh my, these look divine, and I can't wait to try them + love that you discovered them by accident!! I just made yam fries over the weekend, with a homemade cilantro dip and they were SO darn good! xoReply
I love when that happens! Happy accidents are the best and these look dangerously addictive! I can't wait to give these a try!Reply

One Night in Stockholm
I had to dash over to Stockholm. Why? I had to go to the dentist.
This was a great cause of amusement to my British friends who snickered in disbelief. "Why on earth would you go to another country to go to the dentist? We have perfectly good oral hygiene here!" Are you taking the fucking piss? Take a bloody look in the mirror, mate.
So I headed to Sweden in pursuit of the pearly whites. I had done my own diagnosis (Google) and come to the conclusion that my mouth was falling apart. "You don't understand" I said severely to my long term dentist "We are dealing with disaster. I don't care what you have to do – drill this shit like it's a promising oil well in Texas, but I want this bitch of a mouth clean – you hear me!?" My poor dentist looked at me, frightened. "Oh, dear, this sounds serious, let's have a look." "Yes. But also hear this: I want you to Continue reading

"I had to do it," said Robert Dixon after tearing down symbols of hate from the home of one of his Sacramento neighbors. "As an American, I just had to do it."
Breitbart News reported in late February that a man living in Sacramento's River Park neighborhood flew an American flag displaying swastikas instead of stars, and Israeli flags with swastikas instead of Stars of David, outside of his home. Although neighbors protested, the man refused to remove them.
Things changed on Tuesday. Since the neighbor wouldn't remove the flags, Dixon, a successful contractor, took it upon himself to tear them off the house.
"It's time for us as Americans to not be so complacent," Dixon exhorted. "To stand up and say, 'Hey, we're not going to put up with it.' I'm not Jewish. I'm not military. I'm not a student. But I'm an American and I love my country. And I respect the Jewish people and they are our allies and I just had to do it."
Jerry Sprague, one of Dixon's other neighbors, pointed out to KCRA 3 that Dixon's actions were not a felony and doesn't think authorities will give Dixon a hard time. "It's just a misdemeanor, so he doesn't have anything to worry about being prosecuted," he said.
Dixon explained to KCRA3, "I knew I was willing to deal with the consequences for my beliefs — and my belief was that needed to come down that day for that neighborhood."
Ryan Pessah, chairman of the Jewish Community Relations Council in Sacramento offered his take on the incident, which may come as a surprise to those repulsed by the actions of the anti-Semitic neighbor:
The rally organizers don't condone this type of activity or this behavior… Ripping down signs on private property — no matter how hateful the speech — is contrary to what the Constitution allows. And although they are offensive, and the example of hate speech, it is protected under the First Amendment. Those displays are hateful, but we wouldn't want him to feel the way his speech makes us feel.

The 2017 vintage… well, it is fair to say Mother Nature has put us, winegrowers, to the test… it will stay engraved in our mind as a challenging season overall and quite atypical for Marlborough particularly over spring and autumn. However we are very pleased with the quality reached for our 15th harvest at Clos Henri Vineyard…
SPRING – September / November
Spring presented some challenges practically, but it was for the good of our vines. Indeed, the wet conditions made it difficult to work, but if we observe it with a more positive eye the substantial rainfalls have helped replenish soil moisture we were desperately waiting for and consequently allowed good growth. It has certainly been a contrasting experience from the last two dry springs.
SUMMER – December / February
Finally December saw Marlborough get back to its reputable climate… the sunshine was here! December remained dryer than usual until mid-January, allowing an excellent crop set. From mid-January, heart of summer, two timely rains occurred (19 th January and 17 th February) which allowed the vines to just reach moderate water stress naturally. These ideal conditions allowed the growth to stop and the ripening to start around véraison time.
By the end of February we were progressively gaining confidence that vintage was announcing itself well…
AUTUMN – HARVEST – March / April
The enjoyable sunshine and heat of the first week of March quickly changed to a more autumnal feel, somehow a little too early… A decent rainfall the second week of March followed by cooler than average temperatures suddenly saw the grape maturation slow down. However, we felt early riper flavours appearing on Sauvignon while sugar levels stayed, sign of balance!
Harvest finally started at Clos Henri on 31st March and ended on 19th April. Everything was set to be going smoothly but challenging weather conditions emerged, mainly due to the tails of cyclones Debbie and Cook which hit New Zealand early April. At that time, the grapes had not reached yet their full maturity so we preferred to patiently (and nervously) wait until we reach optimum ripeness. All our years of observation and hard work to fine tune our vine balance through canopy management, vigour control and obviously organic and biodynamics practices showed their full benefices. The experience of the Bourgeois family along with this meticulous vineyard work has played a major role in taking wise decision. We accepted we would lose some crop by waiting for the wet weather pass through but what we will harvest after thoroughly sorting will be of quality. There was no room for compromise…
Our vineyard is mature now and well in harmony with its terroir to be able to face confidently these difficult weather conditions. Harvesting early would have conducted us to make wines which have showed sign of under-ripeness, which do not have their place at Clos Henri.
We expect our 2017 Pinot Noir to be fresh, lifted and full of finesse, expressing already fresh red berries notes, certainly a reflection of the cool season. It may remind us of the cool 2012 vintage which today drinks superbly and impresses by its finesse. We also believe that the use of whole bunch (up to 35%) during the 2017 maceration did play an important role to preserve the freshness and lifted character of our wines while ensuring a good structure.
As for our 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, as the fermentations progress the wines already reveal attractive notes of bright tangy tropical fruit flavours such as mango, lychee, papaya and dragon fruits supported by a lively acidity.

Apparently, it's really difficult to make a small amount of cranberry sauce. Have you ever noticed that? Long after the leftover turkey, dressing and pumpkin pie have vanished, there's still that bowl of cranberry sauce sitting in the fridge. My family loves cranberry sauce, but no matter how much we use on the big T-Day, we always have lots leftover. Always.
So what's a thrifty mom to do? Re-purpose and re-use, that's what! Today I'm making my Cranberry Vinaigrette – one of the 200+ recipes in my first book, The Healthy Gluten Free Life. It's my gift to you on this post Thanksgiving, what do we eat now, kind of weekends. So cook up some chicken or steak, slice and make yourself a hearty spinach salad with this Cranberry Vinaigrette! It'll be the best thing you've done with cranberry sauce all week!
- ⅓ C (80 mL) balsamic vinegar
- ¾ C (180 mL) olive oil
- ¼ C (60 mL) Cranberry Sauce (I use my leftovers from pg. 252 in The Healthy Gluten Free Life. But use what you've got!)
- 1 tsp organic Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 1 Tbsp raw organic honey
- 1) Blend all ingredients in a blender or Bullet blender until fully combined.
- 2) Use immediately.
- 3) Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Congratulations to DG Niall and his Conference team for arranging 'one of the best conferences ever' in Bournemouth.
This conference had everything, interest, inovation and inspiration - just the right mix of celebrating District achievements and inspiration for future activities. Inspirational speeches covered subjects such as Lifeboats, Helen and Douglas House, Goodwill & Growth for Africa, PEACH and The Clare Foundation. Rotaractors, Ambassadorial Scholars, the Argentinean GSE team and Interact members joined in the proceedings. On a lighter note, Michael Portillo closed the Saturday morning session with an entertaining talk, and Dr Geoff Mackey brought the house down with his outrageous anecdotes, pictures and videos on Sunday.
The hugely talented Ambassadorial scholars gave some great presentations at the Saturday afternoon Foundation Rally. See the photostream here
The Saturday evening Beach Party saw some colourful outfits as delegates marvelled at the entertainment and danced the night away to Todd Miller and the Joe Loss Orchestra.
For those who couldn't make it this year, do read the illustrated report from Princes Risborough and make sure you don't miss out on the fun next year! Download here
Sincere thanks to David Cotton (Friday afternoon and Saturday morning) and Brian Jonson (Saturday lunch, Beach Party and Sunday) for the excellent photos in the picture gallery

Lumme 28 Jun, 2006
My apologies for the relative paucity of posts on this site of late. I have been stupidly busy, both at home and at work. This has been good: I am now writing code once more. OK, let me re-phrase the previous sentence: I have been writing code, and that's been good for me. Chortle. Whether the rest of the world benefits from that in any way remains to be seen…
At home, the family keeps me as busy as ever—son number one (of three) hit eight today. Amazing how fast they grow—I cannot believe that this time eight years ago I had a tiny little scrap of a child in an incubator. Now look at the great bruiser.
Anyway, lots of things going on, lots of web development, lots of Notes client development (I've played with layers for the first time too!) Some of the code will be seeing the light of day very soon I promise—Including a load of stuff I've done with DominoWiki, so stay tuned.
Oh, and tomorrow I'm nipping along to a seminar about Ajax and all that malarkey in London. I shall report back!

About us
Hi, we're Ties and Chris. We are a Dutch-Moroccan and British couple who love cycling but are touring novices. We met in Mexico and live in London; we love living here but want to keep exploring. We've both been cycling since a very young age, so an epic cycling tour seemed like the obvious choice for our first adventure together. We also share a passion for tattoos, hence the name Cyclink. We hope our story and our website inspires you to go on new adventures. Please get in touch to say hi and let us know what you're up to.
We are planning to cycle ±12,000 miles (19,000 km); a complete circle around Canada & the United States.
We are flying the 3rd of July to Toronto and we will start cycling from the 7th of July:
Leg one – Toronto to Vancouver
Leg two – Vancouver to San Diego
Leg three – San Diego – Florida
Leg four – Florida to Canada
If you are, or if you know of friends or family who are along our route that would like to host us, we'd love to hear about it! 😀

If you decide to choose home delivery, for your rights and interests, please be sure to abide by the above rules. We have made many improvements and enhancements on packaging.

The black cat will receive 3 to 4 transfer stations from the time of receipt to delivery. The logistics personnel at each station are different. The dessert is not held by the delivery staff, but is placed on the body freezer. Even though the personnel at each station are very careful, there may still be huge swings in the body due to poor road conditions, or the delivery volume of black cats is large during the holiday season. Frequent parking of stalls is caused by stalling of the freezer, causing loss of freezer temperature and loss of sweets. Warm deformation, these are factors that we cannot control. If you have any questions, you can contact us. Our desserts are purely hand-made. We hope that they can be served in your hands perfectly. It is not easy to manage. Every dessert is carefully protected. We do not want to see the sweet tower damage. This kind of mood is not inferior to any one customer. , I hope you can understand in advance to order our sweet tart.

Metra announced today it will begin its own testing for diesel soot next week within Chicago's crowded train stations and inside the cars that carry commuters.
Responding to a Tribune investigation, the transit agency also is creating a task force to explore new ways to clear the noxious blue clouds of diesel exhaust that are sucked into train cars leaving Union Station and the Ogilvie Transportation Center.
Metra officials acknowledged the findings have forced them to take a more aggressive approach to solving a problem that commuters and workers have complained about for years.

That upset was quickly followed by a shock defeat for UFC megastar Conor McGregor!

Natural Monopolies
Because public utilities are generally monopolies, they must be closely regulated to ensure that good service and fair rates are maintained. In the United States local utilities, such as those providing water, light, and streetcar services, were at first regulated by the communities they served. This regulation was achieved by charters, or grants of franchises. Services covering a larger area were regulated by state legislatures through provisions in the company charters.
As these businesses grew,…

I got a spiritual message last night that I need to stop working so hard and just receive love and enjoy my life to the fullest. I think that is very wise advise for me. I don't totally know how to do it, though, because I'm in the middle of a faith transition/awakening, letting go of my old beliefs and learning a new way. It's very stressful and hard and intense. Sometimes it's wonderful, but this part of it is the not very fun and happy part.
Before I went to bed last night, I asked my angels to give me a dream to help me know how to follow this spiritual message I received. Then I went to sleep.
Well, I had the most horrible nightmares all night. I dreamed that my work, which I love, made me work 15 hours a day, then I got in a plane crash that I survived, then my church that I am having my faith crisis with said that all people who don't conform to these crazy random rules they just made up in my dream--like only having blonde hair--would go to hell. So everyone in my family dyed their hair blonde and went back to church and it felt terrible. I left the church building and saw a little innocent boy get run over by a semi truck. It was very graphic and gruesome, like I was right there next to the wheels watching it in slow motion.
I woke up all jumbled and upset and relieved it was all a dream. I have been having PTSD symptoms since I started my spiritual awakening and taking time away from my church to reframe my own personal beliefs from the inside my gut rather than outside myself in the form of a church. I wonder if either the angels just didn't see fit to teach me last night, or maybe they healed and diffused some of the PTSD through my dreams. Maybe it was just one of the many PTSD symptoms, because nightmares are common with it. Was it a message? Whatever it was, my dreams have been so very active lately and I know I'm being taught and healed in my sleep, even though when I wake, I can't remember it. I just know it's happening. Anyone have any insights into nightmares like this being a kind of healing, or if a cigar is just a cigar and it was just a plain old bad dream?

About Naked
Fashion from the inside out
"What I like about fashion has nothing to do with the superficial aspect of it - the "it" bag of the season, possessing everything that is hot, new, or purely high end designer. It's about how the perfect outfit can transform the way you feel. It's about creating a wardrobe that's a true reflection of your unique personality and style."
That simple fashion philosophy, and a real desire to do something meaningful, is what led Carmen Westbrook to create Naked. She's truly passionate about fashion and making people feel comfy in their own skin (with some clothes on, of course).
What came before Naked
Carmen's first profession? Bean counter. Not a lot of passion there (no offense, fellow accountants!). Then her entrepreneurial spirit led her to co-found a consumer promotions agency, creating campaigns for some of the most recognizable brands in the world. After 10 successful years, it was time to reinvent herself yet again. Now she is an Atlanta based image consultant helping her clients make subtle wardrobe changes for a big impact or often times performing a complete fashion makeover.
One thing we know
We don't believe fashion will change the world. Nor do we believe people should be judged on what they wear. But we do know this: if you look great, and you feel like you look great, amazing transformations can occur.
Carmen is certified with the London Image Institute in Level 1 Foundation Training.
Lester R. McCarter, III
Lester R. McCarter, III joined the team in 2014 after meeting Carmen and realizing their shared love of transformation. Prior to becoming an independent image consultant and stylist, Lester spent nearly 22 years in retail management and later gained valuable experience and knowledge during his tenure as a Senior Personal Stylist at Nordstrom. While at Nordstrom he was regularly honored with "Customer Service All Star" awards and obtained a "FIT" certificate for stylists.
Lester regularly consults with clients from a variety of backgrounds. He enjoys teaching them how to utilize what they have, shopping for and with them and making them feel current, professional and confident.
